Amnesty unveils Daesh destruction in Iraqi farmland

Amnesty International on Thursday issued a report revealing damages by Daesh terror organization on water wells, farmlands, and livestock in northern Iraq – in a deliberate attack on the Yezidi community, reports Anadolu Agency.

The report pointed out that Daesh terrorists damaged the farmlands, water wells, pumps, generators, and electrical system, confiscated the livestock, and planted landmines under farmlands in northern Iraq.

Richard Pearshouse, a consultant to Amnesty International, said that Daesh terrorists deliberately damaged the farmlands in the rural area surrounding Sinjar Mountain, which now prevents the Yezidis and local people from returning to their homes.
